As shown in fig. 1, a laser scanning device without mechanical scanning based on-chip soliton frequency comb comprises a broadband laser 1, an arbitrary signal generator 2, an electro-optical phase modulator 3, a core frequency comb chip 4 and a two-dimensional optical phased array chip 5; the output end of the broadband laser 1 is connected with the light source input port of the electro-optic phase modulator 3, and the output port of the arbitrary signal generator 2 is connected with the microwave signal input port of the electro-optic phase modulator 3; the waveform output port of the electro-optical phase modulator 3 is connected with the input port of the core frequency comb chip 4 through a coupler 51; the output port of the core frequency comb chip 4 is coupled with the input port of the two-dimensional optical phased array chip 5. Laser generated by a broadband laser 1 and a triangular wave linear frequency modulation signal generated by an arbitrary signal generator 2 are input to an optoelectronic phase modulator to generate a laser signal with frequency chirp; the chirped laser signal modulated by the electro-optic phase modulator is coupled to the core comb chip 4 through the optical coupler 51; the core frequency comb chip 4 can generate dissipative kerr solitons, and under the action of nonlinear frequency conversion in the micro-ring resonant cavity 42, a series of equally spaced comb teeth on a frequency domain are generated to form a plurality of coherent channel optical frequency combs; and then a plurality of coherent channel light sources are coupled into the two-dimensional optical phased array chip 5 through the coupler 51, and the two-dimensional deflection control of the light beam is realized through the grating antenna 54 on the two-dimensional optical phased array chip 5.
The utility model discloses utilize frequency modulation continuous wave coherent ranging principle, comb the chip through last soliton frequently and produce parallel multichannel light source, combine optics phased array and grating to realize that two-dimentional does not have mechanical scanning, compare with current on-vehicle laser radar range finding scanning technique, the utility model discloses a mode of area array light scanning, scanning speed is faster, and efficiency is higher, and detection distance is farther.
Specifically, the principle of coherent ranging of frequency modulated continuous waves is that a signal is scanned and transmitted, and the time-frequency information of a returned signal is determined by delay homodyne detection. As shown in fig. 4, assuming triangular laser scanning is used, over an offset bandwidth B, a period T; the distance information (i.e., time of flight Δ t) maps to the beat note frequency, i.e.:
f ═ Δ T × 2B/T (for static objects)
Due to the relative velocity v of the object, the returning laser light is detected with a doppler shift:
Δf=k·v/π
where k is the wavenumber and v is the velocity of the illuminated object. As a result, the homodyne return signal of the moving object consists of two frequencies for the up and down laser scanning, namely:
fu=F+ΔfD fd=|-F+ΔfD|
the distance s, velocity v of the measured object is then expressed as:
Figure BDA0002777244110000051
Figure BDA0002777244110000052
the reflected signals of the original comb teeth are subjected to zero treatment channel by using a low-bandwidth detector and a digitizer, coherent ranging signals can be recovered and reconstructed simultaneously, so that the offset of each comb line is obtained, and the speed and the distance (s offset and v offset) of each pixel are given.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the two-dimensional optical phased array chip 5 includes a coupler 51, a beam splitter 52, a two-dimensional optical phased array 53 on a silicon substrate, and a grating antenna 54; an input port of the coupler 51 is connected with an output port of the core comb chip 4, an output port of the coupler 51 is connected with an input port of the beam splitter 52, an output port of the beam splitter 52 is connected with an input port of the two-dimensional optical phased array 53 on the silicon substrate, and an output port of the two-dimensional optical phased array 53 on the silicon substrate is connected with the grating antenna 54. A coherent channel light source generated by the core frequency comb chip 4 is incident to the two-dimensional optical phased array chip 5 through the coupler 51, and simultaneously, the incident light coupled into the two-dimensional optical phased array chip 5 is divided into multiple paths of input light through the beam splitter 52 and input into the two-dimensional optical phased array 53 on the silicon substrate; the two-dimensional optical phased array 53 on the silicon substrate performs independent phase modulation on each path of input light through a thermo-optic effect, changes the phase of light in the waveguide, changes the turning direction of light beams, and finally emits emergent light through a plurality of paths of interval grating antennas 54 which are non-uniformly distributed.
The optical phased array works on the principle that the phase relation among light waves emitted from all the phased units is adjusted, so that the light waves are subjected to constructive interference in a set direction and destructive interference in other directions, and the final result is that a high-intensity light beam is generated in the direction, and the light intensity is close to zero in other directions, so that the light beam deflection is realized. The schematic diagram is shown in fig. 5, where a beam of parallel light propagates in the positive Z-axis direction and the phase modulator is placed along the X-axis. When the phase modulation effect of the phase modulator on the incident light can be expressed as:
Δφ=k sin(θ0)x
the incident light is modulated by the phase modulator to generate theta0Angular deflection, where k is the wavenumber. The optical waveguide phased array based on the thermo-optic effect changes the heating power through the thermo-optic effect, so that the effective refractive index of the waveguide is changed, the phase of light in the waveguide is changed, and the angular deflection of the direction is realized.
The working principle of the diffraction grating is shown in fig. 6. The grooves on the grating diffract the light beams, the light beams with different wavelengths are diffracted along different directions after passing through the grating due to the diffraction of the light, and the light diffracted by each groove generates mutual interference, so that the directions of the maximum values of the light interference with different wavelengths are different, and the spatial dispersion is generated. The distance between two adjacent grooves on the grating is d, an incident beam with the wavelength of lambda and the normal of the grating form an alpha angle for incidence, and a certain diffracted light and the normal form a beta angle. Before the incident light ray1 and ray2 of two adjacent grooves reaches the grating, the light ray2 has an optical path distance d sin alpha more, and the light ray1 has an optical path distance d sin beta more after being diffracted by the grating, so that the optical path difference of the diffracted light ray1 and ray2 is d (sin alpha-sin beta) after being diffracted by the grating. The diffracted light generates interference, and according to the interference principle, when the optical path difference is integral multiple of the wavelength, the enhancement effect is achieved. Therefore, the diffraction direction for light with wavelength λ should satisfy the equation:
d (sin α ± sin β) ═ m λ (m is a positive integer)
Wherein m is the diffraction order. If the diffracted light and the incident light are on the same side of the normal, the above formula takes the positive sign
